WiFi doesn't seem any better for me...was never bad...and definitely not any worse. So its safe to say its pretty good
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Trackball wake works all the time when the phone is plugged into USB, just throwing that out there.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Its also working 100% for me while I have music playing.

Other than trackball wake I'm not seeing any issues with 8-1.

[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
Thanks for feedback
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Thumbs up on 8-1. WiFi is connecting noticeably faster for me, and I'm not seeing any problems.

I never could get 8 to boot on my phone without an FC during the granting of permissions phase, even after re-downloading it and trying from scratch several times, but 8-1 dropped in smoothly.

Sweet kernel. I gotta admit though, only reason I installed it was to see the .35 in the About phone, lol. Just seems more legit. ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
gotta love it :)

i see some improvement with performance too and the wifi driver is the way its supposed to be
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
All seems well. Both trackball wake and volume-rocker wake are functional on 8-2.

[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
can you elaborate?
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Since my case makes it difficult to press the power button...this new kernel is a life saver!!!...thanks guys!!!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
has an updated version & its "pure android" driver the same one other phones use with bcm4329 on cyanogenmod
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
There is a typo in the cpu table for your latest kernel. Instead of 245 mhz, you have 254 mhz in there. the cpu isn't able to idle at that speed, which results in it idling at 600 mhz most of the time, according to setcpu. All the other speeds are fine btw.

Could you fix it in your next release?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
Thanks, that's what I get for sleepless nights :P

EDIT: should be done tonight, would be sooner but just upgraded my laptop distro(Linux Mint 11), starting now :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Tell me how that mint 11 is... 10 was sweet!!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
sorry for big delay :(

heres bump with updated link

http://www.mediafire.com/file/n91yvzbcc22kobv/drowningkernel-8-3-wifi.zip

last kernel didnt have SLQB either and thats fixed ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Just flashed the kernel, all seems well, but the version still says "tony@drowning-Latitude-D610 #1" (the same as the last one). Is this by design or did it not flash right?

BTW, still smooth as butter!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] s0be:
Those build strings can be altered easily, so I wouldn't worry too much about them changing or not changing. Something as simple as 'make mrproper' can reset the build count to 1.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
I totally understand...but thats easiest way to confirm that its installed, but when the numbers are the same and the changes are not readily confirmable I wonder if I did it right or not, and sometime am tempted to reflash just to make sure.
[HTC Aria Android Development] retired_mnbooze:
If memory serves me correctly, one of the fixes was supposed to be correct frequency "254" to "245". Do you have 254 or 245?
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
I have 245. But I didn't check this in the last release, so that would not have jumped at me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
if i post a new one it will be a new version, just pay attention to the name on the update.zip
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
8-3 wouldn't flash for me. Error saying installation aborted. Is 8-3 compatible with 7.0.3?

Aria CM 7.0.3 with XDA Premium App
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
works for me

prob. corrupted file redownload and try again
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Just a quick post to say thank you - running 8-3 over nightly 93 at 120/600 smartass. After only 2 days, I'm already getting about 4.5% per hour battery drain with light use... this is about the best I have seen on my Aria! Off the charger at 515 AM, and at 50% at 1015 PM... with only about a 45 minute charge in the truck on the way home, while on phone calls and streaming music.

Awesome work drowningchild!
[HTC Aria Android Development] tleung11:
This kernel fix the problem that GPS cannot lock, I can get rid of 7.0.0-rc2 now.

For my case, once I update to 7.0.2, and 7.0.3, even I revert the old GPS libraries, the GPS takes over 5 minutes to lock (in the situation that I got at least 9 satellites signal).

Now I tried update to 7.0.3 again, and use this kernel, GPS locks successfully.

Thanks.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
Thanks drowningchild!

Guess this one doesn't have AUFS? What about wifi drivers?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
Thanks for reminding me about aufs

Always includes wifi driver because it's a newer version of it, aka "pure android" driver

bump with new kernel

http://www.mediafire.com/file/we5dntybdjg8f5k/drowningkernel-8-5-VR.zip

EDIT: compcache is actually working now

test by enabling, restart phone, open terminal, type "free" without quotes
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
What's the best setting for compcache? I've had it set to default.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
I have no clue, I have it set @ 10% & its been pretty fine, same quadrant as previous kernel.

Doesn't slow down games either, no lag on fruit ninja whatsoever
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
So, are you saying that with compcache and these settings, your phone gets the same quadrant score as it did without compcache?

What if any benefit are you seeing with compcache enabled? RAM management with CM7 seems pretty good to me as it is, and I'm still trying to figure out is gained on our Arias with compcache enabled.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
it wasnt working before just had regular swapfile/partition from sd

comcache is swap from ram

more ram essentially

EDIT

heres the output from 26% compache use

total used free shared buffers

Mem: 297980 233544 64436 0 496

Swap: 77472 6988 70484

Total: 375452 240532 134920

i dont see the lag i got when i used a swap partition on class 4 sd
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Thanks,

Yea I agree, a swap partition slowed things down for me also.

My phone is loaded heavy enough that I

must

move both apps & dalvik to the ext3, but I've never seen my ram drop below ~40M free and it's usually ~90M free. It just seems to me that enabling compcache would slow things down given the cpu time spent compressing & decompressing data, and I would think that would also increase battery drain to some extent.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
ill be testing it out ;)

+1 for ext but i just move dalvik & use built in apps2sd
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Is there anything in addition to what you listed above, required to enable compcache?

I set compcache ram usage to "default" (18%) and rebooted, but all I see is zeros listed under Swap when I type "free" in terminal. Is there a separate setting somewhere to enable compcache?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
Do you have the latest kernel posted?

8-5 is the only one that actually has it working properly
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Yep, 8-5 right?

EDIT: Oh crap. Just realized I DL'd 8-5 to the phone but forgot to flash it. I'm still on 8-4. :rolleyes:
[HTC Aria Android Development] unsivil_audio:
I don't know if you take feature requests, but I had a suggestion. I think it would be nice to have trackball wake AND lock (but only at the lockscreen). Sometimes I just push the trackball to wake it to look at the time and check to see if I have messages, it would be nice if I could push it again to turn the screen back off.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
that would have to be part of cyanogenmod not the kernel and wouldnt make sense because its used to select(accept)
[HTC Aria Android Development] agentg1001:
Hey drowningchild, do u think u could make the xtraoc/compcache/etc etc kernel again for the slide except the .35 version this time? The device is very very fast but 806 doesn't seem to be enough for me. Also do you think you could get wifi working?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
do you know anyone who could explain on how to get the wifi driver for legend/espresso?

if so then i will :)

if its not fast enough might be time for a new phone ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] unsivil_audio:
Just thought I'd pipe in here about CompuCache, I've noticed significant slowdown with it enabled. Is it my memory card? For now, I'm leaving it off, but I thought it was supposed to make the phone run smoother.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
I believe compcache uses the phone's memory and not the memory card as RAM extension. I run mine at 10% and it is butter smooth. It only uses it when it is needed and in those situations (multi-tasking with resource heavy apps such as music, browser, camera, some games) is when you will see a difference. This is similar to swap or virtual memory.
[HTC Aria Android Development] agentg1001:
I can't get a new phone until my 2 yr contract is up XD which is next february XD. But I think nbetcher has knoledge of the wifi driver
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Compcache IS slower than the phones ram. Where its beneficial is that it allows phones that would otherwise not have enough memory to perform certain/multiple tasks to do so by tapping into this "virtual memory."

[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
I don't know if it's this kernel, or something else that changed with CM7 in the recent nightlys, but the GPS locks crazy fast now. I can get locks in under 20s most of the time now.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i cant even get a lock :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
And mine is the same as it's been for months, first lock after a nightly flash, is ~60-80 sec.

Nightly 103 & 8-5 kernel
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Been on nightly 105 with drownings 8-5 vr kernel for 2 days now. My gps had gone to crap after flashing n93, but it seems to be somewhat better on my current setup. On 93 I could only rarely get a lock, and it would often fail while in use. With this current setup I am seeing initial locks around 180 seconds, and subsequent locks around 20 seconds. Accuracy is typically in the 10-12 meter range as reported by gps status. google nav rarely shows a circle of location ambiguity. For reference, however, prior to going to n93 I was on 7.0.3 stable with drownings 7 sio kernel

And was getting locks under 10 seconds with 5 meter accuracy.

Oh, you've made the same change days before I did. :D This is great because I (and Attn1, I suppose:confused:) would like to know both positive and negative effects of the bluetooth address fix on every aspect. Everyone do report regarding this. Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
yea i been mirroring the changes from arco's wildfire kernel and i seen that and commited it :P i just never built it until today

looked like it would fix the address problem, as even when i changed to the "pure android" bcm driver

its was 43:29:A0:00.....etc

it works for file transfers to & from a moto backflip with cm6.1.2 no problem

i have no other acc. to test

[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
My upgrade is next month, might not do as much with this anymore, as my girlfriend will be replacing her motorola backflip with this, just letting everyone know :)

Might switch to the infuse
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtnlion:
Mine is too.the infuse looks good but it's a Samsung their phones hate me.I'll probably wait see if HTC puts out something I like.the inspire just isn't that enticing to me.

My wife's mom has the Droid x. I'm a little disappointed with it. Looks hella cool, but laggy.

same setup i use just s2e :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
That was my interpretation as well.
[HTC Aria Android Development] loursonbrun:
Aha ! It was not my mind after all; what I did was to remove ADW altogether from the .zip file and add Launcher2.apk to it, then I used that .zip file to flash.

I had to do it so, otherwise I ended up with the same behavior you experienced that it will revert back to ADW, even if I had removed the apk from within recovery mode...I asked if that could be a bug in CM7, but didn't get an answer other than remove the apk from within recovery mode, which i had already done...so, not sure about that part...if you have better luck, please share the right method...
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Using just the kernel flashed over #8 I did get a couple random reboots when I tried to oc to 320/806. It never happened with 320/600 or when oc'd with stock kernel. Might be something to do with the new frequencys but ill keep testing and see if it continues.

I've never gotten a reboot with this(nightlies 7-11), except when i oc'd to 825, which is not recommended anyways.

I tried to do that way but for some reason my zip does not work if i do it manually. What are you using to create the zip? I wanted to do this and new build.prop and recreate the zip.
[HTC Aria Android Development] loursonbrun:
I have used both 7-zip and the 'Send To->Compressed (zipped) Folder' option from Windows Explorer; mostly the second option. What is the error and at what point in the process are you getting it ?

[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
If I read the cmsrc tweets correctly, the change had been committed as of this morning, will be in the next (14?) Nightly. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks to Ladios for the commit.

Edit: to clarify, the change to hsxpa=2
[HTC Aria Android Development] hunkyn:
I used the second option too. It created the Zip file successfully but when i try to flash it does not do anything. I am using windows7 that might to do something with it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hunkyn:
Hmm i do have astro installed but din't know you can do right on the phone i am going to give it a shot and will keep you posted.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
You don't want to compress the file within the zip. You want to "store" the file in the zip.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
Works for me on windows 7. Astro does too. That's what happened to me when I was using androzip though. Would create the zip but it wouldn't flash.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hunkyn:
I gotta say astro worked like charm. Thanks guys for the tips.

Anyone else having a problem downloading the Update.zip file in the OP? Mediafire says "starting download", but it just sits there.

The full nightly 8 downloads fine, but I'm not interested in going backwards from N-12.

Also, hasn't there been changes to the regular CM7 kernel since 8? Is this kernel going to wipe that out? My current kernel on nightly 12 is 2.6.32.17, but what is this? I thought there was a significant kernel update in nightly 11 as part of 2.3.3. MSM7227 doesn't tell me anything other than it's compatible with the Aria/Liberty processor.
